Spring Break, 2009: Five days, three friends, and one big city.
Roaming marks a triumphant return to the graphic novel and a deft
foray into new adult fiction for Caldecott Medal authors Jillian
Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki. Over the course of a much-anticipated
trip to New York, an unexpected fling blossoms between casual
acquaintances and throws a long-term friendship off-balance.
Emotional tensions vibrate wildly against the resplendently
illustrated backdrop of the city, capturing a spontaneous queer
romance in all of its fledgling glory. Slick attention to the
details of a bustling, intimidating metropolis are softened with a
palette of muted pastels, as though seen through the eyes of
first-time travelers. The awe, wonder, and occasional stumble along
the way come to life with stunning accuracy. Roaming is the third
collaboration from the critically acclaimed team behind Skim and
Governor General s Literary Award winner This One Summer. Moody,
atmospheric, and teeming with life, the magic of this comics duo
leaks through the pages with lush and exquisite pen work. The
Tamakis singular, elegant vision of an urban paradise slowly
revealing its imperfections to the tune of its visitors rhythms is
a masterpiece a future classic for generations to come.
Arkham Asylum may have been decimated during A-DAY, but its legacy

But when the pair is thrust into the sewers below, a much more
sinister threat lurks in the darkness. Better look sharp, Batman,
because a hundred thousand eggs with a hundred thousand little
monsters inside are about to hatch and they look HUNGRY And outside
of the sewers, the city streets being overtaken by larger, (somehow
even more) horrific creatures! Collects Detective Comics

A boy, a murder, a girl, a secret. From award-winning author Mariko
Tamaki comes Cold, a haunting YA novel about a shocking crime, told
by a boy who died--and a girl who wants to know why. Who was Todd
Mayer, and why don't any of his fellow students at Albright Academy
seem to know, or want to say, anything about him? Todd Mayer is
dead. Now a ghost, hovering over his body, recently discovered in a
snow covered park, naked and frozen. As detectives investigate
Todd's homicide, talking to the very people linked to the events
leading to his death, Todd replays the choice that led him to his
end. Georgia didn't know Todd. But ever since she heard about his
death, she can't stop thinking about him. Maybe because they're
both outcasts at their school, or because they're both queer. Maybe
because the story of Todd people keep telling feels like a lot of
fake stories Georgia has heard people tell. Plus Georgia has a
feeling she's seen Todd somewhere before, somewhere he wasn't
supposed to be. Told through the voices of Todd in his afterlife
and Georgia as she uncovers the truth behind his death, Cold is an
immersive, emotional, and provocative read. Praise for Cold: "Cold
is an atmospheric, tightly woven murder mystery told with a sharp
voice and a complex, layered cast. The kind of story you inhale."
-- RANDY RIBAY, AUTHOR OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST PATRON
SAINTS OF NOTHING "Mariko Tamaki's Cold is a sharply written, moody
mystery/noir in which even the ghosts have something to hide. Will
give you chills." -- LAURA RUBY, TWO-TIME NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
FINALIST AND AUTHOR OF THIRTEEN DOORWAYS, WOLVES BEHIND THEM ALL
"Tamaki brilliantly explores the ways we show up for each other and
the ways we don't. A rare, unforgettable mystery about finding the
truth inside yourself, despite loss." -- GWENDA BOND, NEW YORK
TIMES-BESTSELLING AUTHOR "In Cold, Mariko Tamaki creates a world of
kids crashing into adulthood with writing that is gritty and
moving. This is a story where the living sometimes haunt us more
than ghosts. Tamaki dazzlingly shows us that the search for love
and justice can be more tangled up than we realize." -- EMILY
SCHULTZ, AUTHOR OF THE BLONDES AND LITTLE THREATS
